ALAN WESTON has a lot to answer for! We want to know what on earth he was thinking when he ruined Tingley Bulls' kit while trying out his new washing machine?

But whatever his excuses, at least he has won the Bulls a new strip - courtesy of the SP and KALIBER.

The Wakefield side, along with Bolsover Old Boys, from Derbyshire, are the latest to triumph in our Is Your Kit The Pits? competition, which aims to find the Sunday Leaguers with the worst outfits.

Right-back Weston's gaffe happened when his desire to get on with post-match celebrations led to him ramming his washer full and setting it to boiling - without realising his error.

When he eventually returned he found a kit which would have been too small for an Under-10s team - and a very angry wife demanding an explanation for the black sludge at the bottom of the machine.

We at the SP reckon there could be a moral to this story.

And Simon Robson, the Bulls' assistant manager, said: "The incident with Weston's washing machine is quite often the reason we give for losing so many games. But the worst thing to come out of it was the grilling Alan got from his wife - talk about red rag to a bull!"

Tingley are locked in a relegation battle in the Wakefield and District Sunday League, while Bolsover aren't doing much better in the Chesterfield and District Sunday League.

Assistant manager Jamie Houghton said: "It's great a bunch of old codgers can still win something."

Kirstie Yates, KALIBER's brand manager, added: "Tingley Bulls and Bolsover Old Boys are worthy winners of Is Your Kit The Pits? and I hope their new kits help get them back to the top of their games."
